ABOUTHi, I'm John.
I picked up my first video camera in 2003. I was thirteen, filming my friends skateboarding, and a few of them went on to turn pro. I've been behind a camera ever since.
Weddings came later. I spent about a decade filming them around Houston, then stepped back for a few years to focus on other film work. I'm back now, with more experience and a clearer sense of what makes a wedding film worth watching again.
Filming skating taught me to watch closely and to be ready before the moment happens. That's still most of how I work: your dad's hands shaking before the toast, the laugh you didn't know anyone caught, the vows you won't remember saying. But I'm not shy about stepping in. If the light is right for portraits, or a moment needs a little help, I'll say so.
When you book Danielson Cinema, you're booking me. I'm there on your wedding day, and I edit your film myself.
I'm also the Senior Videographer at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Working there, you spend a lot of time thinking about what's worth preserving. I think about wedding films the same way.
And when I'm not filming weddings or the museum, I'm back in the streets where it all started, filming skating. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't pick up my camera.
